Forecasts

Tetraites Style (9/4), Bulkov (5/2), Ouro Branco (3/1), Calix Delafayette (8/1), Grand Morning (14/1), Go Go Lucas (18/1), The Linksman (20/1), Shesthebusiness (100/1), Fleminator (100/1), Michael James (125/1)

Verdict

Bulkov has the form on the board, though it has still not quite been good enough to get him home in front and we will take him on with OURO BRANCO. Nigel Hawke's trips north often bear fruit and this four-year-old is testimony to that with a Carlisle bumper win to his name already. The hood may help him now returned to the minimum trip and he is the suggestion. Tetraites Style and Fleminator are potential improvers, though the big danger to the selection could prove to be hurdling newcomer Calix Delafayette.
